This, although worded quite differently, reminded me of my own poem, Words. The human experience is filled with so many things that we each relate to collectively. It is a beautiful thing to find one's own thoughts and feelings revealed in the writings of another. Very much enjoyed.

I like to think that while we have choices in life we follow a path that has been preordained. The people we meet and love are part of our destiny that help guide us to the end and eternity. Your words gave me much to think about. It is wonderful to have you stop by. For a young lass, you have a fountain of wisdom to share! Thank you so very much!

My mother once told me I was Daddy's girl, and even though I lost him when I was only six, I'd like to think I always will be!
"Sweet memories of a father’s love,
his ethereal embrace from above."
May we continue to make them proud!

Of course you are making him very proud and isn't it wonderful how the love stays with us forever. Thank you for sharing this with me.
Great - you are writing about the big and important things in life. The wonder of children, the pain of departed parents, thoughts of the future, all big parts of our lives.
Well done,
Alan
